What is MCA?
Master of Computer Applications (MCA)is a three-year (six semesters) professional Master's Degree in computer science awarded in India. The course was designed to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals in the field of Information Technology. It is a postgraduate course that can be taken up after obtaining a Bachelor's Degree. The MCA programme is inclined more toward Application Development and thus has more emphasis on latest programming language and tools to develop better and faster applications. Generally, the written test is on the pattern of Objective Type questions.
Since, most of the colleges in India shortlist the candidates for admission through only the written test, for some, for instance -- Delhi University, the shortlisted aspirants (on the basis of a written test) will have to appear in an interview before they are finally selected.
The tests are generally of 2-3 hours in duration. Marking scheme (negative marking and its amount) is subjective to the individual test pattern. The language in most tests is only English. The areas that are covered in the written test mainly include Mathematics (predominantly), Reasoning & Analytical decision-making, general awareness and basic knowledge of computers.
General Eligibility Criteria for MCA Course
Aspirants who have done their BCA, BBA or B.Tech can apply for the MCA course. Students who have finished their graduation in science can also apply. These students must have studied Mathematics as a subject in class 10+2. There is no age limit regarding the admission to this course.
Students who would like to join the MCA course must have a pass in graduation with more than 60 percent marks. They need to write an entrance exam as to get admission into the MCA course.
